Shy Bairns, Shy Bairns Get Contemporary, 2018
To close Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2018, artist-collective Shy Bairns will run a drop-in workshop and live zine printing event in the Fire Station Attic.
Visitors will have the opportunity to create work together and write responses to the Bloomberg New Contemporaries exhibition and the wider world of contemporary art.
In the run up to the workshop you can ask Shy Bairns about their responses to the exhibition or submit your work via Instagram @shybairnsgetnowt
Participants will have the opportunity to collaboratively print their contributions on the Big Family Press, the SLG’s risograph printer, and at the end of the event will take away their own zine.
